In the ancient lands where magic thrives,
Where Celtic whispers weave their lives,
Shamanic souls in twilight's dance,
Embrace the gifts of wild romance.

Through heathered moors and mystic glens,
The spirit roams, the veil it rends,
Guided by ancient lore and song,
They walk the paths, where worlds belong.

With oak and ash, the forests breathe,
Secrets held in every leaf,
The rhythm of the drum beats strong,
As visions rise in ancient song.

The cauldron stirs, a mystic brew,
From depths of earth, the spirits brew,
Wisdom flows in rivers clear,
Celtic shaman, heart sincere.

In sacred circles, stones align,
A dance of stars, the divine design,
Ancestral whispers fill the air,
Their wisdom carried, beyond compare.

The fox, the hare, the hawk on high,
They teach the truth beneath the sky,
In nature's tapestry, they find
The sacred ties that bind mankind.

Through misty glades and twilight gleams,
The shaman walks in ancient dreams,
A conduit between worlds unseen,
In valleys where the fay convene.

The elements, their kinship true,
In Celtic realms, they speak to you,
Through fire's blaze and water's flow,
Their ancient language, all shall know.

So let us heed the shaman's call,
To listen to the forest's sprawl,
For in their wisdom, we may find
The treasures of the Celtic mind.

In every dawn and setting sun,
The Celtic shaman's work is done,
Their legacy of beauty grand,
Inspiring hearts in every land.

Angels unseen, their grace bestow,
On days of light, in shadows' flow.
Today's Angel, a message they bear,
Guiding us through life's changing air.

Hold fast to center, in storm's embrace,
A sanctuary in celestial space.
Guardian Angel, by your side,
Guiding steps, on life's endless tide.

Discover magic, in Angel's flight,
A world unseen, filled with light.
Repeating numbers, catch your eye,
Angelic whispers, passing by.

Feathers fall, from heavens above,
Songs on the wind, from realms of love.
In difficult times, a comforting touch,
Angelic presence, we cherish much.

Missing signs, the angels send,
Guidance lost, on life's meandering bend.
Are you ready, their message to glean?
To unlock secrets, beyond the scene.

Angelic voices, silent and wise,
Through this reading, they arise.
Reveal which angel walks your way,
Their message for your life's display.

Near future insights, they unfold,
Guidance precious, stories untold.
A spiritual test, you might embrace,
Choices made, a destined space.

Abundance and healing, they decree,
Or struggles lingering, unbreakable plea.
Free online reading, a gift so divine,
Angelic touch, in stars they shine.

Urgent words, they have for you,
In this moment, pure and true.
Receive their message, with heart so keen,
For in their guidance, you're never unseen.

Angelic whispers, the heavens impart,
Guiding steps, with loving heart.
Embrace the card, its wisdom seek,
With angels by your side, empowered and unique.

The post Guided by Celestial Numbers – A Poem About Angelic Support appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

Once we, with knowing, held this tender song,
In healing's touch, the herbs within our hand,
We wove them into meals, a dance along,
A feast of life that earth and health command.

Origins of flavors, pallets true and kind,
In herbs' embrace, we found a sacred key,
An inter-reliant bond, our souls aligned,
With roots and leaves, a healing symphony.

Yet in the bustle, modern life's embrace,
We drifted far from nature's whispered lore,
Distracted minds, a hurried, mindless chase,
And lost the language plants had shared of yore.

But still, within each cell, the truth resides,
A memory of the ancient bond we shared,
Co-evolution's dance, where fate collides,
With vegetables and fruits, a tale declared.

With every bite, our bodies know the way,
To draw the essence from each verdant soul,
The ancients' wisdom echoes, come what may,
In leaves and stems, the universe unrolls.

A language whispers, secrets to impart,
From plants to us, a message to receive,
Are we prepared to listen, heart to heart,
To learn the lessons that the green world weaves?

In “Healing Kitchen,” wisdom's treasure found,
In plant-based foods, a promise to explore,
To heal the mind, the body, and the ground,
From ailments that our modern age implore.

Our ancestors, in nature's harmony,
Found empathy in every leaf and stem,
A bond, a sacred path, a remedy,
A call to honor life, a part of them.

The act of planting, growing, harvest, meal,
A sacred rite, a prayer to earth's embrace,
In nourishing our spirits, it reveals,
A journey back to love, our rightful place.

And as we tread this path of mindful care,
Connecting to the rhythms of the land,
We find a healing touch within the air,
A food-based medicine, divinely planned.

So let us wake from slumber's heedless haze,
Embrace the knowledge that the ancients knew,
In plant and herb, a refuge for our days,
A chance to thrive, to nourish and renew.

Within these leaves and petals, wisdom dwells,
A language spoken in the softest breeze,
Let's heed the call that nature softly tells,
And heal our souls through food, as nature sees.

The post Harmony on the Plate – A Poem About Unveiling the Ancient Wisdom in Healing Foods appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

What matters most, I seek to know,
The values cherished, as I grow,
Amidst the rush, the worldly strife,
I yearn to live an unsinkable life.

The tombstone stands with birth and end,
The dash, our life, where we transcend,
The seconds tick, the moments fly,
The dash goes swift, we wonder why.

Reevaluating, time to renew,
To realign what's good and true,
To seize the day, embrace the chance,
To dance with life's wild, mystic dance.

We count the weeks, they pass us by,
Time's river flows, no reason why,
With 1560, we may be blessed,
Or fewer still, we face the test.

It's not the count, but what we do,
With every moment, old or new,
To waste away, a grave mistake,
For time, once gone, we cannot retake.

If joy eludes, and darkness looms,
We must confront our inner rooms,
The power lies within our grasp,
To change our life, make joy our clasp.

Believe in self, and dreams unfold,
The magic key, a tale long told,
With action taken, failures faced,
The path to greatness thus embraced.

The journey's essence, not the end,
Our daily strides, the way we mend,
Embrace the climb, the highs, the falls,
For growth's the treasure, within its walls.

So, let dreams not remain astray,
On “someday's” shelf, they fade away,
Discover now what truly gleams,
And cherish life, beyond all schemes.

As you traverse life's winding road,
Find inner peace, amidst the load,
And know that happiness resides,
In living well, where love abides.

The post Time’s Swift Dance – A Poem About “The Dash” appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

Barack, the orator, with words so wise,
Inspires hope, where equality lies.
Ronald, a leader, his voice a beacon,
Guiding nations with strength, never weaken.

Nelson, the symbol of resilience and grace,
Fights injustice, love etched on his face.
Amelia, the aviator, fearless and bold,
Defies limits, her spirit never sold.

Oprah, a voice that uplifts and empowers,
Embracing truth, igniting hearts like flowers.
Harriet, the conductor, of freedom's train,
Guiding souls through darkness, transcending pain.

In their stories, a lesson softly told,
To own one's future, a purpose to unfold.
Each faced obstacles, trials to overcome,
Yet found strength within, their spirits never undone.

They danced through doubts, with passion burning bright,
Harnessing courage, embracing the light.
With resolute hearts, they carved a path,
Creating legacies that would forever last.

For owning the future, a call to be heeded,
To seize destiny, unbridled and needed.
Let not fear bind, nor doubts confine,
For greatness lies within, an untamed shrine.

So, as these seven souls intertwine,
Their presence, an echo in the hands of time,
Remember their whispers, their voices so true,
To own your future, dear wanderer, is up to you.

The post Threads of Destiny – A Poem About Seven Famous People Who Owned Their Future appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

We limit ourselves with our fears,
Trapped within the same old patterns,
And yet, the world is full of wonders,
Waiting to be discovered by our minds unfettered.

So let us expand the limits of our minds,
And see the world in a new light,
With all the beauty and wonder it holds,
So we may live our lives with fresh insight.

Let us seek out the mysteries of life,
And explore the depths of our soul,
Letting our imagination run wild,
As we journey towards a life more whole.

For the world is full of inspiration,
Waiting to be brought to life,
By minds unburdened by limitations,
That are free to roam and thrive.

So let us embrace the unknown,
And step boldly into the abyss,
For it is there that we find our strength,
And the power to live a life of bliss.

Let us break free from the shackles of routine,
And dance to the rhythm of our own beat,
With every step, we expand our minds,
And the beauty of the world we meet.

So let us expand the limits of our minds,
And dare to dream beyond what we know,
For in doing so, we unleash our true potential,
And the beauty of our lives begins to grow.

Let us take the road less traveled,
And explore the depths of our soul,
For it is there that we find our truth,
And the limitless potential we hold.

Oh, the mind is a wondrous thing,
Full of beauty and light and love,
Let us expand its limits and soar,
To the boundless skies above.

The post (Poem) Dancing with Imagination: The Beauty of Being Limitless appeared first on Spiritual Growth Events.

When we stand before the mirror of our souls,
And stare into the depths of our being,
We may ask ourselves with trembling voice,
What is it that we are truly seeing?

For in that moment of reflection,
We confront the fear that lies within,
The fear that we are small and weak,
And that we will never win.

But let us remember what Marianne taught,
That our deepest fear is not that we are weak,
But that we are powerful beyond measure,
That we are the light that the world seeks.

For within each of us lies a flame,
A spark of divine energy and grace,
That can light up the darkest night,
And bring hope to the human race.

So let us embrace our power,
And let our light shine bright,
For it is in our strength and courage,
That we truly come to life.

Why Attend the Collective Trauma Summit 2023

“This is the time to engage in individual, ancestral, and collective healing, and be part of the collective healing journey of humanity.” —Thomas Hubl

There is a growing recognition that our individual, ancestral, and collective trauma are ALL interconnected and affect all aspects of our lives. But there is a difference between seeing trauma and actively working towards practical solutions.

How can we take action? How can we create circumstances for integration and restoration?

During the Collective Trauma Summit, we will explore the potential for healing with speaker talks, live online events, and poetry readings, as well as movement practices, integration sessions, guided contemplation, and panel discussions.

One of the unique challenges, which is also an opportunity, is that no one person or system can solve collective trauma, because it is a complex overlapping system. We all need to come together as a community and this is one of the big reasons why our annual Summit is so important.

This work is more important than ever as the world continues to go through a series of collective trauma shocks. Each of us can play a part in helping to create a global healing movement.

By participating in the upcoming Summit you will be at the forefront of moving this important work forward.

What Is Collective Trauma?

Collective trauma is a type of trauma that happens to a large group or population and most often is ignored, untreated, and/or repressed. This creates trauma that is then passed down from generation to generation, which in turn creates more trauma in the future.

The theme of the Summit this year is Creating a Global Healing Movement. This emerging movement has the potential to change how we think about trauma. We believe that in our world today many of the problems and challenges require us to go beyond the individual to bring groups together to address collective trauma.

Themes at the Collective Trauma Summit 2023

The Collective Trauma Summit features several different themes. Below are just a few of the ones you'll get to explore:

Creating a Global Healing Movement

Humanity is starting to wake up to the awareness of collective trauma. For a lot of people, the topic is overwhelming and they don’t know what to do about it.

The 2022 Collective Trauma Summit provides powerful talks from over 50 speakers to ask difficult questions, and to share opportunities to help us heal.

As we take the first steps as a culture to become both trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive, it’s also important to become trauma-integrating.

That way we can put support systems in place to help people and communities facing major challenges.

This year’s Collective Trauma Summit theme is Creating a Global Healing Movement. If you join us free, here are some of the topics we’ll be exploring together:

• Stories of healing and hope from those working on the ground with people affected by collective trauma events
• Deep-dive conversations on the most pressing issues of our times including war and conflict, the refugee crisis, climate change, racism, and intergenerational trauma
• Illuminating the root causes of collective trauma and how we can address unhealed wounds from the past
• How to shift from individual trauma work to include ancestral and collective trauma in therapeutic settings
• How we can help those who are impacted most to move from states of overwhelm, fear, and scarcity, towards resilience and internal coherence capacities.
• How to create a global trauma response system

If you’re looking around at current world events and asking “What can I do?” then join us for inspiration and ideas for action.

As sensitive beings who want to see the world heal, we’re often discouraged by the number of intense world events that are happening all at once.

If you ever feel that way, we invite you to a special annual event called the Collective Trauma Summit.

Each year the summit brings together like-minded people and explores questions like:

• “What now?”
• “How can I help?”
• “Is there any possibility that these global events will ever simmer down?”

Addressing collective trauma is a huge part of the solution. Over the past three years our summit has provided tools and understanding to a quarter of a million people, so they can do the deep work to heal. They do this for themselves, and they do this for others.

Trauma-Informed Climate Activism

This is one of the themes of the 2022 Collective Trauma Summit. Of the 50+ talks, the following speakers offered perspective and wisdom for us all:

• Christiana Figueres, Co-host of the Climate Podcast Outrage and Optimism and Former UN Climate Chief
• Dr. Gail Bradbrook, Co-Founder of Extinction Rebellion
• Skeena Rathor, Co-Founder of Visioning XRUK, Co Liberation, and Being the Change
• Zainab Salbi, Author, Humanitarian, Founder of Women for Women, Co-Founder of Daughters for Earth
• Xiye Bastida, Youth Climate Justice Activist
• Terry Tempest Williams, Writer, Educator, Conservationist, and Activist

Poetry as a Force for Healing Trauma

Difficult times and complex challenges require creative solutions to stretch the capacity of our imagination. The 2022 Collective Trauma Summit is so much more than a series of talks, lectures, and interviews, although we have a stellar line up of neuroscientists, trauma specialists, and healers we think you’ll love.

We believe poetry will help bring forth collective healing and new solutions.

When healing from trauma, the words we use matter. How we frame our experience matters. And at the Collective Trauma Summit, you'll get support from world-renowned poets to help you use poetry as a powerful for for healing.

Check out these acclaimed poets and writers featured in the 2023 Collective Trauma Summit:

• Ada Limón – Poet Laureate of the United States: “Creativity and Catharsis”
